When the weather is bad, the battlefield obscured, and it’s nighttime in a hostile environment, you can count on GE Position/Navigation System to get to the right place at the right time.

GE POS/NAV is a highly accurate, position reference system which provides  autonomous real-time vehicle position, heading, and attitude.

Vehicle reference information is available to the tank commander and the vehicle driver on the station display panels. POS/NAV provides location accuracy through inertial sensor technology without external reference or outside data links.

POS/NAV improves combat effectiveness:

• Enhanced firepower

• Enhanced formation effectiveness

• Enhanced operational efficiency

• Enhanced lethality

GE is the world leader in land navigation systems for tactical military vehicles.  POS/NAV is the product of four decades of experience in the design and manufacture of electronic systems for defense, aerospace, and commercial aviation.
